This was the brief conversation I had one morning with my husband. Short sweet and to the point which is what happens after many years spent with another human being. We were in the living room and I was reading an article in the Readers Digest about ADHD. With each paragraph I was more and … Continue reading I Think I Might Be ADHD… No Shit! →

It has been a beautiful fall but this morning I woke up to swirling snow and a weather advisory warning. As I sit in my chair by the bay window, with the fireplace on and a mug of steaming coffee, I put down my book and decide to write about something that has been on … Continue reading Milestones →

I follow a young person on instagram who identifies as non-binary. Young is a relative term as this person is around fourty but that was some time ago for me. So.... young.

I don't know about you but I certainly have a lot of pet peeves. Little things that just bug me. One particularly annoying one is people who don't know the difference between yield and merge. This is a big one for me. Half the time people blast right through a yield which is annoying and … Continue reading Pet Peeves →

He was a friend of a friend and I met him at a party that I attended when I was … Continue reading Philosophy, My Old Friend →

Yesterday I switched on the television and there was a hockey game on. I assumed it was an old taped game but nope... It was current. The Flames made the playoffs. I don't watch a lot of sports so I wasn't really aware that things were going on as usual. Who knew? Well my husband … Continue reading The Fan… →
